Today In Michael Jackson History (January 12th)

2003 – Martin Bashir meets with Michael Jackson in his Miami Hotel for the final interview for Living with Michael Jackson documentary.

When Bashir brings up the subject of his face, a visibly upset Jackson says that he has only had two operations on his nose in order to facilitate his singing, to which Bashir tries to ask how he looks so much different from when he was an adolescent. After the singer states that there is nothing wrong with plastic surgery, and that it was “not invented for Michael Jackson,” Bashir comes to the conclusion that Jackson wanted to change his appearance as a result of his troubled youth and father’s insults.

When he asks about a comment Jackson’s son Prince made that “I haven’t got a mother,” Jackson tells him that Deborah Rowe bore his two children as a gift for him, because he wanted to be a father so badly. On the subject of Blanket’s mother, Jackson contradicts his earlier statement that he had Blanket with a woman with whom he had a relationship by stating that Blanket’s mother was a surrogate mother and that they didn’t know each other.

Bashir also repeatedly questions Jackson why he invites children into his room. Jackson defended himself stating that such activity is natural when the children are of close friends or family, and that “many children,” including the Culkin family children (including Macaulay and Kieran) have slept in the same bed as him. Jackson strongly denied that there was any sexual motivation for this. During these defensive comments he also stated that he would allow his children to stay with his friends including Barry Gibb, saying that they are “sweet people” and are not “Jack the Ripper”. Due to the confidentiality agreement, he refuses to talk about the 1993 allegations, but he reveals that he paid the accuser a settlement, since he “didn’t want to go through a long, drawn-out affair, like O.J.”

Below is part 1 of Bashir trash, (but some good footage of MJ). BELOW (as MJ did) I offer you Michael’s TV special to where he shows the truth about this interview. Michael Jackson: THE FOOTAGE YOU WERE NEVER MEANT TO SEE. <3
